Joke Only On Librarianship
March 2024
Student
inside a library: "Do you know one walking dictionary here?"
Librarian:
"We don't walk dictionaries here. We sit them."
A
group of students on the third floor of a library were making noise. Due to
their noise, the librarian told them, "Lower your voices!"
All
the boys hurriedly went down to the second floor.

Reading
a signage in the library, a student curiously asks the staff: "Is it
'Silence Please' or 'Silence Place'?"
Batting
an eyelash, the staff answers: "You get silence in this place, or I place
you in silence."
A
signage in front of library staff's table reads: "Don't disturb. I'm
busy!!!"
When
a student peeps on the library staff's cellphone, he finds out that the staff
is busy playing Mobile Legends (ML).--Melchor F. Cichon
Browsing
on the stack in the library, a student finds a fiction book authored by a
popular writer. He took it from the shelf and ask the staff if this can be
borrowed overnight.
Student:
"Can I sleep with this for a night?"
Staff:
"Huh? Sorry, but that book is 'Taken'*. We have 'Single'** here for you if
you like."

It's
getting late, but the librarian found out that there's still a student reading
inside the library. She was concerned and decided to talk to him.
Librarian:
Excuse me, why are you still reading that book? You can continue tomorrow.
Student:
I'm sorry, Madame.
Librarian:
Anyway, I will wait for you. Just finish that chapter you're reading.
Student:
Thank you for your consideration, Madame.
Librarian:
May I ask what the title of that book is?
Student:
"*The Neverending Story."

Yes, you can. I guess you are inspired to have a girlfriend.

Estudyante: Hindi libro ang hinahanap ko kundi yong gwapong bookworm na nakasabay ko sa hagdan kanina.
